GLIMPSE OF MOBILE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES: A GOLDEN MEAN IN CURRENT EDUCATIONAL FIELD
Keywords:
education, golden mean, m-learning, m-learning technologiesAbstract
There is no discussion or doubt that we are currently in the world of technology. In this paper which is full a conceptual research paper, we have focused and developed the use of technology in field of education especially mobile learning technologies as one side having negative effects on students and another side, it has the positive effects in helping students to gain knowledge. We have outlined some apps used by students sometime either negatively or positively like You tube, Whatsapp, face book,… The proper use is missed because of no clear pedagogical model of mobile learning as some authors said. We have been ending by recommending all educational stakeholders, researchers as well as policy makers to develop pedagogical model for mobile learning. The author has advised the use of mobile learning technologies as neither to maximize nor to minimize its technology. It must be taken as a golden mean in educational field.
